What sort of price should I expect to pay for a 2nd service (it's 2 years old) on a metropolis in the UK?

I'm pretty sure under the EU block exemption law, you are not required to have a car maintained by a manufacturer dealer to maintain the warranty. As long as it is done to the same standard using equivalent quality parts the warranty will remain valid. I have self maintained three cars and two motorcycles that I have bought from new and each time I have had confirmation of the above from the manufacturer. In the event of a disputed warranty claim, it is down to the manufacturer to prove the service or parts were at fault and not for the owner to prove they weren't. Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

Unless things have changed, the garage definately does not have to be VAT registered. As said above, I did all my own servicing on new vehicles/bikes. This only applies to new vehicles within the manufacturers new vehicle guarantee - 3 years for cars and two years for motorcycles. What you may be getting confused with are used and third part warrantys when VAT registered receipts are needed so that 'proof' of servicing cannot be backdated.

Some of you may well laugh but check out ATS - I have known the local manager for 20 years or more and when quizzed he assured me that all the correct parts and oil are per manufacturers spec (shell helix ultra professional). They buy in the service pack from Europarts and use the correct Shell oil rather than from a 50 gallon barrel out the back. 50 point hard copy check list and yes even the door hinges are greased. Circa £240

Still a lot of confusion about oil out there as later models must use a DPF oil with a "WSS-M2C-934B" rating and last time I looked Shell Oil (AND MOST OTHERS) did not hit that. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Although you have the legal rights stated above I have taken the view with cars like the FL2 that you buy from a dealer and get it serviced preferably at the place you bought it. Yes it's more expensive but if (when) you get problems there is absolutely no issue.

Thanks for the feedback. Reason for going to a main dealer is to have all "manufacturer" known faults checked for at the same time, and all updates to computers etc. Normally I would service and repair it myself. I've done that with my FL1. Armed with my hawkeye I feel confident but it's less hassle for warranty claims if LR built and serviced it. Anything goes wrong then it's their problem. I plan to keep it for a long time so it will be dealer serviced for a few years then probably done by myself thereafter. Hippo's videos - Honorary Tratterer |

I can fully understand your point - I'm in the trade myself and our Evoque is going in to a main dealer for service and software update on Thursday for the same reasons as you. Mind you, we bought a used approved one so two years servicing, LR assist and warranty came as part of the deal! Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto

I totally agree with you taking it to a LR dealer until its out of warranty but I think your are dreaming if you think they will "check for all known faults, update computers etc twice with two different dealers they have forgoten to reset my service reminder on the dash & one forgot to stamp book. Makes you wonder then if the likes of the fuel filter etc do get changed |
